Memeplex
A Memeplex is a cluster of mutually reinforcing ideas, narratives, phrases, behaviors, and symbolic fragments that function as a carrier system for a society’s dominant or emergent Creation Template. Memeplexes operate as a distributed, decentralized mechanism of ideological transmission, allowing the assumptions and values of a Creative Framework to be reproduced and reinforced outside formal institutional structures.
In Lightning Path terminology, memeplexes are part of the narrative infrastructure of a society, functioning alongside Archetype Systems and Master Narratives to shape individual and collective Consciousness.

Key Characteristics
- Self-Reinforcing Clusters – Memeplexes are not isolated ideas but clusters of interconnected concepts and behaviors that gain strength through repetition and cultural saturation.
- Horizontal Transmission – Unlike top-down symbolic systems (e.g., Archetype Systems, scripture), memeplexes spread virally across social networks, media, language, and daily routines.
- Ideological Carriers – Memeplexes embed the value structure and ontological assumptions of the dominant Creation Template, often invisibly.
- Emotionally Charged – Effective memeplexes attach to fear, aspiration, humor, or identity, making them easier to internalize and harder to challenge.
- Participatory – Individuals often participate in the reproduction of memeplexes without recognizing their ideological content.
Memeplex and Creation Templates
Memeplexes serve as distributed carriers of Creation Templates, acting as vectors for the dissemination of worldview assumptions encoded in a Creative Framework. They operate in tandem with formal narrative structures to maintain the coherence and saturation of elite or emergent worldviews.
| Mechanism | Description | Mode of Transmission |
|---|---|---|
| Archetype System | Formal symbolic scaffold (e.g., Tarot, comic universes, religious icons) | Top-down, symbolic |
| Master Narrative | Authoritative meta-story (e.g., sacred text, historical myth) | Top-down, institutional |
| Memeplex | Informal cluster of viral ideas, slogans, tropes, jokes, norms | Peer-to-peer, cultural diffusion |
Examples
Elite-Controlled Memeplexes (Old Energy)
- "There is no alternative" (TINA)
- "Humans are selfish by nature"
- "Success = wealth"
- "Discipline builds character"
- "Hard work always pays off"
- "Spirituality is irrational"
Liberatory Memeplexes (New Energy)
- "Another world is possible"
- "Healing is possible"
- "We are the 99%"
- "You are not broken"
- "All beings deserve dignity"
- "Connection is the goal"
Role in Indoctrination
Memeplexes are a critical mechanism of Systemic Indoctrination. Unlike formal education or religious ritual, memeplexes work through informal channels:
- Advertising and marketing
- Entertainment and social media
- Schoolyard and workplace culture
- Internet memes and viral content
- Linguistic clichés and idioms
LP Context
In the Lightning Path system:
- Memeplexes form part of the ideological scaffolding of Old Energy Creation Templates.
- Their content and logic are often generated in Symbol Factories and distributed by Ideological Institutions.
- Conscious agents and communities can seed New Energy Memeplexes to destabilize hegemonic worldviews and facilitate planetary reprogramming.
Notes
- The LP system distinguishes between memeplexes as tools of domination (when aligned with elite Creation Templates) and tools of transformation (when aligned with connection, healing, and planetary liberation).
- The construction and distribution of Reparative Memeplexes is a critical task for Agents of Consciousness and aligned change agents.
